Ribosomes are just like people. They are diverse, they can dance, collide, and experience stress. During stress, the translation process plays a key role in the development of cancer, a discovery made by PhD candidate Sofia Ramalho ➡️ www.nki.nl/news-events/... @sofiaramalho.bsky.social

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️

So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality?

We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary
